Week 39

You:

If you are a first time mother, your baby has probably dropped by week 39. This means you should be able to breathe more easily now. Unfortunately, you may feel the urge to go to the bathroom even more now. You are in the home stretch now, and should watch for the following signs that labor is imminent: bloody show, loss of mucus plug, nesting instinct, loose bowel movements, weight loss and greater appetite.

Your baby:

The lanugo is mostly gone now. The lungs are now very mature and ready to breath outside the womb. Baby is now extremely crowded in the womb, and almost ready to come out.
